Day 1: From Lima we are heading south on the Pan American Highway. At Puerto Viejo we will find White-tufted Grebe, Great Grebe, White-cheeked Pintail, waders and gulls. Here we will also search for Peruvian Thick-knee, Lesser Nighthawk, Coastal Miner and differetn species of seedeaters. If time allows we will investigate the area around Pisco in the late afternoon. Grebes, Egrets, Phalaropes, waders but also Yellowish Pipit and Peruvian Meadowlark are some of the birds we may see. Stay in a nice family hotel in Pisco, a  little town near Paracas Peninsula.

We will see Humboldt Penguin in small numbers, while sometimes a Peruvian Diving-petrel or a Wilson´s Storm-Petrel is flying by. Depending the time of the year Swallow-tailed Gulls and Sooty Shearwaters can be seen near the coast. After the 2-hour boat trip we continue to the peninsula Paracas, where we expect  to see Blackish Oystercatcher, Per.Seaside Cinclodes and lots of waders, terns and gulls. After lunch we have a 4-5 hours drive back to Lima. B. L.
